Complete Dork Alert

I seem to have be stricken with a nasty summer cold thingy-ma-bob. I was just moaning over the phone, (to my mum), saying that at least when you're sick in the winter, you can hunker down under a thousand blankets and get the sensory pleasure of full body hibernation. It's just downright out of place to be sick in the summer!

Before I took up residence on the couch to blow my nose every half second, I managed to do something so nerdily awesome. It was a very Rob from High Fidelity re-organizing his LPs kinda moment. I re-organized a vital part of my magazine collection.

Complete Dork Alert

Anyone who knows me well knows that despite my penchant for sporting Bjork-like hair-do's and hanging around punk-rockers that I love Martha Stewart Living with an undying affection. I'm a walking lifestyle contradiction. What you see above, on the right, is my MS Living back issues re-organized by month instead of by issue. So all of the January, February, March etc. issues are together. That way, say if I need a great September-ish recipe, I can pull out all of the Septembers and flip through them. Right now they are stacked from August onwards, so that theoretically I can put the August stack at the bottom of the pile, when the month is over.

True to my contradictory nature the stack on the left facing the camera is my collection of Bust magazines re-organized in a similar way.

I am so excited about this!

I can almost hear the thunderous noise of cricket chirping as whoever is reading this flees from the computer at the sight of the mundane dullness of this post, hahaha! I don't care! I AM SO HAPPY WITH MYSELF!!!

I totally get it! I do! Except for the fact that I buy Living at Goodwill, read it, and then give it away.

I organize other things in the same way though. It's so....soul enriching!

(I love organizing my books).
